To be able to count female singers, musicians, producers or songwriters, it is required to have gender specific data describing them.However, here’s the first roadblock — there is little public gender-differentiated metadata describing artists. Most data providers don’t have this kind of information, and the most comprehensive dataset I found so fa...
The USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiativeexamined the prevalence of women among the top 800 popular songs from 2012 until 2019. Those results are consistent with other studies I could find, and with my own research from Soundcharts:female artists account for about 20% of the top charts, regardless of the platform you look at:
Digger deeper for France (my beloved country) where urban music tops the charts, ratios tend to be worse. Early March this year,only 9% of the top streaming charts were female on Deezer, Spotify and Youtube. The first female I could find in the rankings was Tones & I at the 28th rank on Spotify. The week I looked was indeed a pretty bad week for fe...

What the experiences of women reveal is that the biggest barrier they face is the way the music industry thinks about women. The perception of women is highly stereotypical, s...
Gender gaps won’t disappear anytime soon. However, I’m optimistic about a trend towards more diversity in the music industry. First, female fans or artists now have plenty of role modelsthey can identify with. Democratization of music production and distribution enabled millions of artists to reach new audiences and the offer is no longer limited t...
- But female pop stars are doing well, aren't they? Yes and no. Dua Lipa, Kacey Musgraves, Cardi B and Lady Gaga took the limelight and many of the top prizes at the Grammy Awards last weekend.
- So what's going on? It's become much more common for hit songs to be collaborations - Pop Star A "featuring" Pop Star B. That means the total number of artists credited on songs in the end-of-year top 100 list has risen over the past decade.
- What does that mean for the women? In 2008, stars like Alexandra Burke, Duffy and Katy Perry were among the 35 female acts to have hit singles on their own.
- Why is this happening? There's always been a gender imbalance in pop music - just think about the genders of the biggest stars of the past 60 years.
